people are already starting to tentatively talk about what might be
happening at LPC2019, and so should we, I'd say.
The primary question is -- should we eventually submit a livepatching
miniconf proposal again? Did the format last year in Vancouver work for
everybody? Was it too long/too short? Should we change the way how we
accept/schedule proposals (in case it's happening at all)? Any other
comments/ideas?
Hi,
the LPC CFP is now open. Noone else seems to have volunteered, so I am now
starting to collect the topics.
Therefore, in case you have a topic you'd like to present / put up for
discussion, please send it to me. Once we have enough content (and
tentative attendees) accumulated, I'll turn this into a miniconf proposal
I'd submit.
I could give a talk about live patching progress since Vancouver. "What
happened in kernel live patching over the last year". I think it would be
interesting for many attendees who do not follow our mailing list closely.
Since I've been putting klp-convert through its paces, I don't mind
giving a status/TODO update (unless Miroslav considers that part of his
"what happened" progress report).
Another topic that may be useful for a general kernel audience could be
a livepatch developers guide, similar to the one kpatch maintains [1].
We could either talk about what topics would be needed for a guide or if
one was established by then, a quick rundown for the general kernel
folks in attendance. Maybe this is premature without having a better
offering of source-based livepatching tools to assist, but I figured I'd
see if there was interest yet.
